Presenter's Bio:

Dr Shane Mc Guire worked as Counsellor/Manager of the HSE Community Healthcare West Addiction Services for over 23 years. He has a deep interest in the impact addiction has on individuals, their family, and friends. Currently in private practice, he promotes a multitude of therapeutic approaches and believes the core of counselling practice is to empower clients to make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.

He is also an accredited Clinical Supervisor and lectures at third level colleges on addiction and other issues. His supervision practice involves working with student counsellors and issued raised in this context (e.g., role of placements, influence of training organisations and expectations placed on supervisors,) generated an awareness of the significant and multiple influences that are always present in the therapeutic space. His PhD thesis on power in supervision and its impact on supervisors, continues to provide fertile ground for his ongoing critical reflection on key influences in the practice of supervision.

Event Outline: 

The workshop will explore the strategies that we as supervisors use in recognising and managing expectations placed on us, in our role as gatekeepers to the profession.

It will be interactive in nature and the overall aim of the day is to enable participants develop their own strategies for managing these expectations.
